When it comes to 3rd party web browsers for the BlackBerry, Bolt and Opera Mini aren’t the only options. We just caught wind of a new BlackBerry browser from Logicplant called uZard Web, and word on the street says it shows promise. uZard Web is currently in beta, however, it’s website says it delivers the same web browsing experience as on a PC. Even though the uZard Web download page says its for the BlackBerry Bold 9000, multiple devices are currently support, although the app is pretty useless (from my experience) on the BlackBerry Storm. If you’d like to give uZard Web a go for yourself you can download it from the link below…

I tried it out for a few hours. Though I find it a little difficult to navigate at times, and some mobile sites didnt fit into the screen. it was quite larger, which annoyed the heck out of me. Other than some of these issues, it shows some promise for beta. Just wish they’ll work out some of these small issues and do some refining on the browser before official releasing it.
It jacked up my curve 8330 so I uninstalled it. I may have just downloaded the wrong version, but I’ll wait till it comes out of beta. Opera is still my fave, but since you can’t change the bb browser from default, it’s kind of a moot point.
the browser definitely needs work… one thing that shocked me is that it would actually play embedded videos… a bit choppy to say the least, but they still played… IMO they should give the option to allow it to play in the media player on the device rather than on the webpage…
